There were holes the size of fists in the bathroom door. The floor was damaged. The fella at the front desk was cool. We had to pay a $150 deposit at the desk because we reserved via Expedia. The breakfast is decent- consists of: waffles, cereal and oatmeal, assorted breads, coffee, tea, orange/ apple juice, and milk. Oh and be careful here, no vaping in the rooms. I don’t smoke but it was still a shock…so heads up. Mayb next time we will b in a better looking room. Oh thankfully no bed bugs from what was inspected.

I booked this place for my wife, her sister, and our niece because it had decent reviews and was allegedly a 3-star hotel. We happened to read more recent reviews and they were bad... and more accurate as it turns out. The front desk staff was friendly. No issue there. The first room the ladies got was infested with 50+ lady bugs buzzing and flying around. Yikes! The second room they got had only 5 of them, and they decided to deal with it. That room looked to be in the middle of a remodel, or needed one. Not sure which, but it certainly wasn't 3-star quality. One of the wash clothes had a big hand print on it. It would be impossible not to have seen it when the washcloth was folded. The front desk did replace it with a clean one, but.... On a positive note, the mattresses seemed to be fairly new and were comfortable. Based on the rest of the pages, they were very worried about bed bugs, but didn't see any evidence of such. The hallways smelled like an Indian restaurant. I love Indian food, but it was overpowering and not appropriate for a hotel unless free plates of chicken masala were served every night. The breakfast was not edible. The eggs had a weird taste to them that none of women could stomach. The water dispenser with lemons seemed like a nice touch, but that water also had a strange taste to it like maybe the lemons had been in there too long or the dispenser had not been cleaned in a while. When we booked, the description said

This is just a very plain hotel. A few walls have damage or marks and that seemed to look bad in my opinion. The room was clean. The scrambled eggs at breakfast were really bad. I paid $175 (room and tax) for a Saturday night in October. It was extremely overpriced. I had a much nicer room in Jackson, MO at the Drury the night before for $50 less.
